Posted on May 31, 2024May 31, 2024 By Martin Hinton

CFC has announced the appointment of Kelly McGuinness as the new Cyber, Tech, and Professional Liability Development Leader, according to a company announcement. This marks the first major appointment by Kate Della Mora, the newly appointed CEO of CFC Canada.

Based in CFC’s new office in Toronto, McGuinness will work closely with Della Mora and CFC’s Canada-facing teams in the UK to enhance support for Canadian brokers in these specialized areas.

“I am thrilled to welcome Kelly to the new team that we’re building here in Canada,” said Della Mora. “Her technical knowledge, relationships, and professionalism will be a huge asset to our business as we seek to deepen our partnerships with brokers across the country. I couldn’t ask for a better first appointment and look forward to working alongside Kelly as we continue the growth trajectory of CFC in Canada.”

McGuinness joins CFC from Coalition, where she served as Team Lead Canada, Production Underwriting, and Business Development for the past three and a half years. She has over a decade of industry experience specializing in cyber and tech insurance.

“CFC is the recognized pioneer of cyber insurance in Canada and the market leader for a reason – its product proposition is second to none and it has led the way in the development of proactive cyber protection,” McGuinness said. “But CFC is so much more than cyber, and I’m looking forward to working with Kate and my colleagues based in the UK as we continue to expand our Canadian business.”

For over two decades, CFC has provided cyber liability insurance solutions to Canadian brokers. It has grown to become a market leader in cyber insurance. It now offers over 20 classes of specialist insurance to protect businesses in various industries, focusing on emerging and technology-based risks.

In the wake of the Harrods hack and cyberattacks impacting other retailers, the alarming state of UK cybersecurity will be revealed in 2024. From cyberattacks hitting major UK retailers like Co-op and Harrods to small businesses struggling without protection, the message is clear—cybercrime is a national threat.

New research by Pen Underwriting reveals that while 90% of UK and Irish businesses feel secure, only 47% have dedicated cyber insurance. Even more shocking—only 18% of businesses earning under £1 million are covered. The cost isn’t just financial—real people suffer, like the couple who lost their wedding cake due to a ransomware attack.

Watch now to understand:

Why UK businesses are dangerously unprepared

How cyberattacks are more common than fires or theft

The key role of employee training, data backups, and multi-factor authentication (MFA)

Why cyber insurance is no longer optional
